Obesity Prevention

The World Health Organization has pointed out that at the individual level, people can take steps to limit energy intake from total fats and sugars, and increase consumption of fruit and vegetables, as well as legumes, whole grains and nuts. They can engage in regular physical activity (60 minutes a day for children and 150 minutes spread through the week for adults). At the societal level it is important to support individuals in following the above, through population-based policies that make regular physical activity and healthier dietary choices available, affordable, and easily accessible to everyone, particularly to the poorest individuals. The food industry COULD play a significant role in promoting healthy diets by: Reducing the fat, sugar, and salt content of processed foods; Ensuring that healthy and nutritious choices are available and affordable to all consumers; Restricting marketing of foods high in sugars, salt and fats, especially those foods aimed at children and teenagers; Ensuring the availability of healthy food choices and supporting regular physical activity practice in the workplace.
